When the snow and ice lt, this pri location will be a natural farm.
Moreover, these wild white geese have down that’s even warr than duck down. By then, it will be useful for Mrs. Chen to make top-quality goose-down quilts and clothing for herself and the baby.
Since even wild boar piglets can be dosticated, raising white geese should be even easier.
She saw two big white geese nested in the grass ahead and quietly went over, touching her jade bracelet.
In an instant, she put the white geese into the space.
At this mont, the White Tiger was lazily yawning by the Spiritual Spring, not expecting a big white goose to fall from the sky, landing right on its mouth!
Startled, it shivered and let out a big sneeze, sending the white goose plopping into the Spiritual Spring.
One after another, more geese fell in.
The White Tiger leaped up in shock, watching those white geese cleanse themselves in the Spiritual Spring.
After erging, they had beco quite intelligent dosticated birds.
Ruan Mian tily released them, guiding them to follow her back in an orderly line. They obediently ford a queue, wobbling behind her.
So of them took shallow flights, circling around her, leading her to discover several natural hot spring pools.
The steamy water sources hidden among the grassy thickets were sothing she hadn’t enjoyed in a long ti!
The entire journey had been about cleaning up in the space.
But the spiritual spring water was too cold. Seeing this scene now, she almost couldn’t resist jumping in for a comfortable soak.
However, thinking of Xie Huai’an waiting nearby, she didn’t have much ti.
Anyway, living here in the valley for so ti, she’d have plenty of opportunities.
So she first took the flock of white geese to the shallows.
Seeing her successfully ta the white geese, Xie Huai’an exclaid in astonishnt, "You really have this ability?"
Proudly raising her head, Ruan Mian didn’t hide her prowess, "Of course, I wouldn’t deceive you, Mr. Xie."
Saying this, she hugged a big white goose, plucked so down from their necks, taking a little from each, so they wouldn’t be completely bald.
The white geese didn’t struggle, and with the nourishnt of the spiritual spring water, they’d regrow their down soon.
Xie Huai’an was puzzled about the plucking, so Ruan Mian frankly explained.
"This goose down is a tool much warr than duck down. Isn’t my sister-in-law about to give birth? Neither she nor the child can afford to catch cold."
"You see, isn’t this just the right amount to sew a down quilt to keep the child warm? Once they grow back, I’ll sew you one too, Mr. Xie."
She smiled slightly, deftly gathering the down into her cloak.
Seeing her having difficulty plucking alone, Xie Huai’an specially ca over to help.
Sitting beside her, Xie Huai’an noticed her long butterfly-wing-like eyelashes, glinting with a bit of ice, particularly captivating.
He couldn’t help but recall when he first t this woman; she approached him fearlessly, just to secure a safe environnt for her brother.
Unafraid of authority, intelligent and clever, and most importantly, her mysterious aura stood out.
Where exactly did she acquire so of her unusual skills?
At this mont, she was like a completely different person from the Ruan Mian, who had been widowed for three years.
As he pondered, he inadvertently t Ruan Mian’s gaze.
She looked directly at him and asked, "What are you looking at, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Huai’an was taken aback montarily, then his expression suddenly changed, feigning a headache.
Originally squatting, he plopped down to the ground, looking frail: "I must rest, I’m of no help to you now."
Taking the chance, he leaned against a nearby tree trunk, squinting slightly, observing her.
Ruan Mian, unconcerned, said, "Mr. Xie’s body hasn’t fully recovered yet. I’ll handle it."
After finishing her task, she packed the goose down in a cloak, supporting a frail Mr. Xie as they slowly returned ho.
Yun Xiu was anxious seeing Mr. Xie’s state: "What’s wrong with Mr. Xie?"
He moved to help, only to be pulled back by Vice Minister Dong: "You’re young, you don’t understand. Mr. Xie is fine."
"Mr. Xie doesn’t look well," Yun Xiu was puzzled, as Mr. Xie seed barely hanging on, relying on Miss Ruan’s support to stand.
Vice Minister Dong, smiling wryly, explained it was no use to elaborate further, simply stating.
"In short, Mr. Xie is okay. There’s no need for you to go over, especially with Miss Ruan present. What are you worried about?"
With that, Yun Xiu truly stopped worrying.
Miss Ruan’s dical skills were formidable; his presence would only be a hindrance.
Once Ruan Mian settled Xie Huai’an, she brought the goose down into the house, also housing the several big white geese, and called Ruan Qing and Shaoxi to help create a small makeshift courtyard with branches.
The white geese were quite obedient, flapping their wings playfully in the yard, arousing the envy of onlookers.
Including Ruan Jiao, who had just passed by.
Recently, she had been behaving herself, aware of the dangers ahead, sticking closely to the group for survival.
Falling behind ant certain death.
She understood this well.
But now, seeing the Ruan Mansion’s people thriving while her hopes for a coback were completely dashed!
Qi Nanfeng was unreliable, Mr. Li had disappeared, and Uncle’s Mansion was under Mrs. Wang’s control again. Sotis, she even struggled for food, not to ntion a better life.
Clearly, she was also part of the Ruan Mansion.
Once disdainful, now she thought it was ti to change her mindset.
Only by following the Ruan Mansion could she live well, without worrying about food and drink.
Survival first, everything else cos afterward.
With this thought, Ruan Jiao started plotting, thinking deeply about when she could be accepted by the Ruan Family.
She was so lost in thought that she didn’t even realize she had wandered into a corner.
Until she heard a strange sound, snapping her back to reality.
She parted the yellow grasses ahead, and to her surprise, saw Qi Nanfeng rolling on the ground!
His face was flushed, foaming at the mouth, looking like a ghost of a consumptive disease.
Seeing Ruan Jiao, Qi Nanfeng’s eyes lit up, imdiately crawling over.
"Quickly, Jiao’er, call Ah Ruolan! I need the antidote, I need the antidote!"
His eyes looked frightening, like a mad beast.
His hair was all tangled, scaring Ruan Jiao into retreat.
She had heard before of Qi Nanfeng being tornted by Ah Ruolan. After handing him over to Ah Ruolan last ti, Ruan Jiao never associated with him again.
Perhaps Ah Ruolan kept him in check, as Qi Nanfeng never reached out to her.
Seeing him in such a state now, she was shocked.
She also felt a bit of disdain.
Previously, she was willing to submit to him, mainly for his handso appearance. Now, he was neither human nor ghost, making Ruan Jiao keen to avoid him.
Qi Nanfeng, seeing her reluctance, suddenly laughed bitterly, raising his voice to shout.
